My 9.5-year-old lab/mastiff was sedated at 5:30 pm for x-rays due to an elbow injury. It's currently 9:00 pm, and he is panting/breathing rapidly and still groggy. Is this normal, and what should I do?

My 12-week-old female Blue Haylor puppy, who has had one shot and is due for her second, is wobbling when she holds her head up, barely drinking water, and her eyes are bloodshot. She vomited once and has been with my daughter's boyfriend for the past two weeks. What could be causing these symptoms and should I be concerned about poisoning?

Our 2-year-old Australian Shepherd, Banjo, has a noticeable change in the shape of his head, with the left side beside his eye denting in and the bone appearing to protrude. He was hit by a car about a month and a half ago and we noticed this issue about two weeks ago. The vet diagnosed trigeminal nerve paralysis, but I'm concerned it might be a trigeminal nerve sheath tumor. What could be causing this, and is it treatable?

My long-haired Chihuahua, Chimichanga, has been acting unusually distant and aggressive towards our other dog, Piper, and us after an incident where she was scolded by my mother. She drank some street water on Sunday and has shown no signs of illness like vomiting or diarrhea, but she seems to want to be alone and growls at Piper. Could she have pulled a muscle or is she experiencing emotional distress? What can I do to help her?

My dog, Tank, is sore, doesn't want to go up stairs, yelps when picked up, and tenses up when touched. He is eating and drinking, but limps slightly when walking. He had a check-up 7 months ago and is not on any medications. What could be causing his discomfort and what should I do?

My lorikeet has been scratching its nostrils and pulling its mouth with a strange sound for about two months. Sometimes there is sneezing, and the sound happens frequently, both during the day and at night. There is no discharge, but once a feather was stuck in its nose. Sometimes one nostril looks a little white for a few hours and disappears, especially after a shower. What could be causing this, and what treatment options are available?
